Thirded ... and I absolutely also endorse the requests @ post #224. All of them. (Some have already been expressed by others, but they can't be asked for frequently enough.)

I read through this thread and I don't think this has been requested here, but the first thing I noticed is that there seems to be a lack of linked usable information. Book covers link to a pop up which links to a 'book page', but the author's name doesn't link anyplace that I can find out what else they wrote or if the book is part of a series. I see a star rating and a number of reviews listed (on one particular book it says "11 customer reviews") but where are those reviews from? I don't think they are BookLikes reviews, are they? If so, I can't find them. (For that particular title, I only find three BookLikes reviews on the 'book page'.)
I guess I'm just confused about how this site works.

Some of the people I follow write really good stuff that I sometimes want to refer back to. If I "like" their post, it is on my timeline, but so hard to sort through. Can the timeline somehow be indexed, or searched to make it easier to re-find what I had earlier liked?

I would like to know if there has been any progress on making some sort of export button? I think that's my biggest wish at the moment.

Sorry if this has been requested before, I don't have time to read the entire thread. Anyway I'd strongly like to request the option to make "Read" a non exclusive shelf. Having it as an exclusive shelf seriously interferes with the way I track my reading. I can understand "Planning to Read" and "Currently Reading" as being exclusive because if you are currently reading something then you are no longer planning to read it, but if you've already read something then you can be either reading it again or planning to read it again. If I want to reread something I really don't want to have to switch from the read status to the planning or reading status because that will show a reduction in the total number of books read. If I just leave the books in read status without switching to planning or reading, then there won't be any status updates on my blog timeline. If I make additional shelves for rereading and planning to reread, those won't produce any status updates either.

So please, pretty pretty please, make the read shelf optional as an exclusive shelf. I'll even go out on a limb and request that all shelves be optional as exclusive shelves. I can't think of any reason why someone would want the planning or currently reading shelves as non-exclusive shelves but they should have the option if they want it. I've hated having to deal with this shelving frustration over at GoodReads and I know that site is highly unlikely to listen to such requests, but the staff here are so much more friendly and concerned with what their members want so I thought it was worth a shot in asking.

Also I'd like to request the ability to add multiple dates read on books. Thanks very much for listening to my requests.

For the sake of our book data and all the perfectly lovely indie authors not attacking reviewers, any chance booklikes would add some of the major publisher/aggregator/distributor/POD sites as book sources? Like smashwords.com, lulu,com, etc.? (Book sources, partners or whatever you call the amazon, Powells, kobo, etc. options you get when searching for books).

I think that could be a big help with a lot of the imported goodreads book data. Plus new releases.

Worldcat.org would be a wonderful source to have.

Possibly even add some Big Five publisher sites for those of us buying directly or purchasing things like the eARC editions Baen offers well before available on amazon and other bookseller sites.

I certainly don't expect or want every indie publisher, every big five imprint, etc. being listed. Just the major ones.

I would like to be able to see who Liked a post by somebody else. As it is, I can only see who Liked my own posts, and only if I catch it in the list in Notifications... I would love to be able to do a mouse-over over that red, pulsating little heart, and see, in a pop-up, just who Liked something.


and also, I would love to be able to "like" when somebody marks a book To Read...

To kind of say Yeah, me too, I loved that!

That's what I would Like. In a big way.

I agree with being able to "like"when somebody marks a book "To Read"

Seconded all the way; I'd also like those.

Moreover, in the discussion groups, it would be great if threads could be frozen and / or merged by the moderator. E.g., for duplicate threads, deleting the surplus thread and having people repost their entries in the original thread currently seems to be the only way of dealing with that sort of situation: if both threads are very active, not necessarily an efficient method.

Someone may have already mentioned this - if so, my apologies - but I was wondering if there's a way for users to replace book covers or at least report that a cover needs replacing. I know that it's possible to add a cover for a book that doesn't have one, and I've done that before, but there are a few books I've seen that have "placeholder" pre-publication covers that need their covers to be updated to the official final versions. A good example would be Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh.

To phrase it as a feature request: it would be nice if there were a way to easily report book catalog errors and get them corrected.

Thanks for the new feature! I just saw that we can save a draft post and the screen stays on the same page not referring us back to our blog screen

I'd like to see real flow on the Explore page. Please think about separating "New and Trending" into different categories. Then we could see some real flow from New to Trending to Hot. Maybe give New 2-4 extra slots to keep things fresh.

Re: Daily Deals

Yes, as it is, I ignore that page. It would be nice if that page were a place for sales, with the ability to limit by seller, genre, etc. For example, I don't buy e-books from Amazon, but I do from other online stores. I'd love it if authors or publishers could list limited-time sales so that I could, say, limit by Smashwords or some other online seller and see if there are any sales I want to jump on.

And one more thing, to add to my previous post (#241). In Trending and Hot, I think it would be a good idea to make comments count for something. It appears that currently these are determined by the number of Likes, but if a post generates considerable comment, that is at least as important, if not more so, because of the degree of participation involved in leaving a comment as compared to simply clicking an icon.

I agree with this.
And on a related note, kind of. If I Like a post, even though I don't leave a comment , and later, there are comments, I think it would be nice if I could get a notification of that. Just because I didn't comment, I have indicated an interest in knowing about future comments by hitting the Like button.

Thanks!
